Bone-in Boston Butt - Bursting with flavor and versatility, our Boston Butt is a must-have for any BBQ enthusiast, taco lover, or slow-cooking aficionado. Whether you prefer using the oven, crockpot, smoker, or grill, our Boston Butt is perfect for a variety of cooking methods, allowing you to explore different flavors and textures. Cooking Methods: Oven Roasting: Preheat your oven to around 325°F. Rub the Boston Butt generously with your favorite dry rub or marinade. Place it in a roasting pan or on a baking sheet and cook for several hours until the meat is tender and easily flakes apart. Baste occasionally to keep it moist and flavorful. Crockpot: Place the seasoned Boston Butt in your crockpot along with aromatic vegetables, herbs, and a flavorful liquid such as broth, BBQ sauce, or citrus juice. Cook on low heat for 8-10 hours or on high heat for 4-6 hours until the meat is succulent and easily shreds apart. Perfect for hassle-free, tender pulled pork. Smoker: Prepare your smoker by preheating it to around 225°F. Season the Boston Butt with a dry rub or marinade of your choice. Place it on the smoker rack and slow smoke for several hours, adding wood chips or chunks for a smoky flavor. Maintain a steady temperature until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 195°F for amazing melt-in-your-mouth pulled pork. Grill: Indulge in the smoky flavors of grilled Boston Butt by using the indirect grilling method. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and create a two-zone fire by placing the coals on one side of the grill. Season the Boston Butt and sear it over direct heat for a few minutes on each side. Move it to the cooler side of the grill and cook with the lid closed for a couple of hours until the meat is tender and juicy. Recipes:Eastern Style NC BBQ using your oven and a slow cooker: Ingredients: 1 Bone-in, Skin-off Boston Butt 2 tablespoons salt 2 tablespoons brown sugar 2 tablespoons paprika 1 tablespoon black pepper 1 tablespoon white pepper 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper 1 tablespoon garlic powder 1 tablespoon onion powder 1 cup apple cider vinegar 1 cup apple juice 1/2 cup ketchup 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 2 tablespoons hot sauce (optional) Hamburger buns or sandwich rolls for serving Instructions: Preheat your oven to 325°F In a small bowl, combine the salt, brown sugar, paprika, black pepper, white pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to create a dry rub. Generously rub the dry rub all over the Boston Butt, making sure to coat it evenly. Let the meat sit and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for maximum flavor penetration. Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of oil and sear the Boston Butt on all sides until browned. This step helps to develop a rich crust and lock in flavors. Transfer the seared Boston Butt to a slow cooker. In a separate bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, apple juice, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce (optional). Pour this mixture over the Boston Butt in the slow cooker. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours, until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart. Once the Boston Butt is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and let it rest for about 20 minutes. Then, using two forks or your hands, shred the meat into bite-sized pieces. If desired, you can strain the liquid from the slow cooker and reduce it on the stovetop to create a thicker sauce. Simply simmer the liquid until it thickens to your desired consistency. Pour the sauce over the shredded pork and mix well to ensure every piece is coated. Serve the Eastern Style North Carolina BBQ on hamburger buns or sandwich rolls. Add coleslaw, pickles, and extra hot sauce if desired. Enjoy the flavorful and tender pulled pork! Carnitas Tacos: Season the Boston Butt with a blend of cumin, oregano, chili powder, garlic, lime juice, and orange juice. Slow cook it until the meat is tender and can be shredded. Heat corn tortillas and fill them with the juicy pork, along with diced onions, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
